I can't see right now what other strategies might work.
Wait until public outrage reaches boiling point - at which point the cops will be allowed to chase again, consequences be damned.
In the ensuing chases, a ped is going to get killed, causing more outrage, increasing police powers.
This continues until for crims the risk > reward.

Happened in Edinburgh two months ago. Police went for a "no chase" policy after one of the scrotes died in a chase, then almost a year later, motorbike crime is out of control, and a 10 year old (ish?) kid gets git at high speed by a stolen bike with scrotes on board
What seems to have made most difference us the pressure on parents by other parents, as they were same estate (both the kid that was hit and the thieves).

Wow, so much going on. I can't understand how they could have got so many iPhones in three minutes. The most horrible recent development is obviously that acid crap.
I was thinking that the only way of getting to grips with the problem might be a regulatory response, to ban such mopeds altogether, which will never happen, but I can't see right now what other strategies might work.
